Success!

Kevin-Walzers-Computer:~/python24-fat kevin$ file
/usr/local/python-unix/bin/python
/usr/local/python-unix/bin/python: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures
/usr/local/python-unix/bin/python (for architecture ppc):       Mach-O
executable ppc
/usr/local/python-unix/bin/python (for architecture i386):      Mach-O
executable i386

I used the hacked-up setup.py and also added the "--enable-universalsdk"
and "prefix=/usr/local/python-unix".

I still think the setup.py should recognize custom CFLAGS and LDFLAGS,
but this was a successful workaround. Thanks to Ron and Bob for their
advice--I wouldn't have figured this out by myself.
